Inch. Cryptogramma crispa is abundant on Birnam Hill/among 

 rocky debris. Sedum Telephium is very plentiful on all the road- 

 sides in the neighbourhood of Kinnoull and Bernhill, where also 

 Matricaria Parthenium, Solidago Virgaurea, Achillea Ptarmica, 

 and Berberis vulgaris are common. 



The most interesting plants of the district are probably Scheuch- 

 zeria palustris, Moneses grandiflora, Teucrium Cham(Bdrys, and 

 Turritis glabra, which are described as natives of the parishes of

 — in the Methven district, including the woods of Methven 

 and Lynedochj Glenalmond, and the banks of the Almond, are 

 stated to occur Corallorhiza innata, Epipactis grayidifiora, ensi- 

 folia, and latifolia, List era Nidus-avis, Paris quadrifolia, and Eri- 

 geron alpinus. In the Redgerton district — including a portion 

 of the banks of the Tay — occur Peplis Portula, Nuphar lutea, 

 NymphcBa alba, Thalictrum minus, Hypei'icum humifusum, hirsu-

 tripartita, Cnicus eriophorus and heterophyllus, Trientalis euro- 

 pcea, Adoxa moschatellina, Chelidonium majus, Habenaria viridis 

 and bifolia, Listera ovata, Genista anglica, and many others of 

 minor interest. In the Carse district, including the Tay marshes, 

 the alluvial plain of the Carse proper and the " Braes of the 

 Carse," or the southern declivities of the Sidlaws, are to be found 

 Galium saccharatum, Cynoglossum sijlvaticum, Calamintha Acinos, 

 along with Geranium lucidum and Anthemis arvensis, a weed at 

 Annat gardens ; Poterium Sanguisorba with Pyrola rotundifolia

 opsis Ladanum, Ranunculus hirsutus, Chrysosplenium alter nifolium, 

 Leonurus Cardiaca, Scrophidaria vernalis, Typha angustifolia, and 

 Dianthus Armeria. For the stations of many of these I am in- 

 debted to a list supplied me some years ago by Mr. Gorrie of 

 Annat Cottage, who, from long residence, combined with high 

 scientific attainments, is thoroughly conversant with the botany 

 of the Carse of Gowrie. In the Kinnoull and Perth district, in- 

 cluding the hills of Kinnovill, Moncrieff, and Craigie, and the 

 Glen of Balthayoch, occur Sagina ciliata, Lychnis Viscaria, Ge-
